'American Idol' Season 17 premiere: A year of comebacks? Another former contestant Alyssa Raghu joins auditions

Alyssa Raghu, 15, auditioned for the first time for 'American Idol' last year. Sadly, though the judges revealed she is top 10 material, she was eliminated before the top 14.

There is just little around two weeks left for 'American Idol' season 17 to premiere on ABC. Ever since it started in 2002, the series has gained fans from all over the world and is still running strong despite Fox cancelling it in 2015. After two years, the series returned last year on ABC, but the ratings weren't as good as the previous seasons. However, this year the series is back, bigger than ever, hoping to get back its viewers. 

Premiering March 3, the series has started to reveal previews and teasers, hyping up fans and viewers, indicating it is going to be an emotional season this year. Going by the teasers, it sure looks like this is going to be a comeback season. As fans and viewers noticed, there are a couple of past season contestants auditioning again this year for season 17.
